Your Shortcut to Easier Cruising in the Bahamas

Cruising the Bahamas is a dream—until you're juggling charts, cruising forums, and five open tabs just to plan the next day. Whether you're sailing the Bahamas for the first time or making your fifth loop through the Exumas, this Bahamas cruising guide saves you hours of planning and helps you avoid costly mistakes.

No more guessing where to anchor for the night, who has fuel, or how to navigate coral-strewn cuts. You'll get quick-access info on the essentials: anchorages, marinas, fuel, propane, customs, storm protection, and more—organized by location and written for real-world cruising.

From the Abacos to the southern islands, the guide puts exactly what you need at your fingertips, when you need it. Available in both waterproof print and instant PDF, updated October 2023.

If you're cruising the Bahamas without this guide, you’re working harder than you need to—and risking missing the best anchorages, safest passages, or only fuel dock for miles.

Why It’s Different • Answers at a Glance

This guide is organized first by what you need—anchorages, services, storm holes—then by location, making it faster to find what you’re looking for. No lengthy descriptions and no charts—just clear tables to pinpoint the information you need without delay.

How to Use • Quick Steps for Finding What You Need

Designed to answer your questions quickly, this guide makes navigating the Bahamas easy:

Go to the Right Section: Tabs help you find what you need—anchorages, marinas, services, storm holes, or navigation alerts.
Find Your Column: Look for details like wind protection, available services, or depth restrictions.
Locate the X: Organized island-by-island from north to south, each X shows where you can find what you're looking for. Just find the one closest to you!

Anchorage Names: All anchorage names are Active Captain names, which can be overlaid on any navigation app like Garmin, Navionics, or Aqua Map.

For PDF Users:

Clickable tabs let you jump straight to the right section.
Searchable bookmarks make it easy to navigate the table of contents.
Clickable links for phone numbers and websites simplify planning.
Download to multiple devices used on the same boat for flexibility.
